Test Your Knowledge: Savvy Shopping

March isn’t just about flowers and warmer weather; it’s also National Nutrition Month! As nutrition experts, this is an excellent opportunity to promote wellness through better food choices and healthier eating habits.

This also means making sure everyone has access to affordable food, especially in light of the financial burdens associated with medical management, especially in advancing stages of chronic kidney disease or during renal replacement therapy. Our concern is to prevent patients from compromising their nutritional intake due to financial constraints, as this could significantly impact their health outcomes, overall well-being, and quality of life.

This is why this month we focus our attention on food budget hacks for our renal patients! Our “Test Your Knowlege: Savvy Shopping  game” highlights effective and practical tips to manage food expenses including:

1. Shopping smart for deals
2. Reducing food waste
3. Cooking from scratch
4. Choosing affordable protein sources
5. Leveraging community resources for support

This game comes with nine fill in the blank questions for your patients to test what they know as savvy shoppers.  It also includes and answer key so they can check their answers.  As always, our handouts are crafted with a visual emphasis to enhance comprehension and engagement.
